An enjoyable dining experience of great food, atmosphere and service. I especially enjoy the separate vegan menu. I wish more restaurants would do this as it removes the hassle of a making a complicated order and wondering if the food you’re getting is truly vegan. And, the vegan options are fantastic - not some lazy, unimaginative dish that other restaurants offer.

They don’t have enough menus even though the place was pretty empty so everyone is taking them back even before ordering. The drinks are sweeter but really good. Food was awesome & service was nice. Service was a little slow but otherwise very good

The waiter, Hayk, provided us with exceptional service. He was incredibly attentive, always on his feet, and never idle like some other staff. He was constantly moving around, ensuring every guest was enjoying their experience. His recommendations were spot on, and his dedication truly stood out. Hayk’s hard work and professionalism make Katsin a better place to dine. He’s an asset to the team!
